"I didn't think your Domain has been perfected to this level." It seemed like his opponent had advanced into the Domain level for quite a while now, otherwise he couldn't develop the Domain prototype into the mature level that it was at now. Even the Wind Domain he used, that took more than 10 years to develop, only gave him a slight advantage.

Although Ling Lan's mecha piloting skills had already surprised him very much, Senior Colonel Mi still believed that Ling Lan's potential in physical skills was far greater than his potential in mecha piloting. The youngest and strongest Domain user had indeed emerged.

"Senior Colonel, are we still going to fight?" Ling Lan did some Qi exercises to let her internal injuries to be recovering at the fastest possible speed. The chest pain and pressure she felt was gradually relieving.

"No, it's alright. Since we already know your capabilities, there's no reason to fight anymore," Senior Colonel Mi instantly refused. He didn't think Ling Lan would be this strong in terms of Domain. It was way beyond what he had imagined. If the two of them were to fight to see who would win, both sides would suffer heavy injuries. Additionally, he wasn't enemies with Ling Lan so they of course didn't need to fight to their deaths.

"Does this mean that I passed?" At that moment, Ling Lan smirked. Only a minor change had made her face into a warm spring-like one from a cold-winter one. This made Senior Colonel Mi understand the strength of genes. Ling Lan was indeed General Ling Xiao's son.

"Yes, congratulations Ling Lan. You have officially become a mecha battle team leader in the 23rd Division. It's just that I don't know which mecha clan the higher-ups will be sending you to," smiled Senior Colonel Mi.

"Thank you!" Ling Lan thanked him sincerely. If it wasn't for Senior Colonel Mi's reminders and arrangements, it was possible that she wouldn't be able to pass the second evaluation. Ling Lan wasn't so conceited that she would think she would be able to take on six people by herself.

Right at that moment, the two of them heard a weak voice called out from a distance, "… Leader, if you're done, please come and help us."

The members had eyes filled with anguish. It was though they were saying that if Ling Lan and Senior Colonel Mi were to continue talking to each other, the five of them would be meeting Hades.

Senior Colonel Mi saw the miserable expression on the five of them and was in dismay. It turns out he had overestimated the endurance of the members.

At that moment, Senior Colonel Mi didn't realize that having gone all out, the energy shockwave created from the clashing of the two Domains was beyond anything anyone below the Domain stage could stand. It wasn't that he overestimated their endurance, but instead he had underestimated the energy released during his battle with Ling Lan.

Senior Colonel Mi felt humiliated. He frustratingly called people to send the five of themto the treatment room. Afterwards, he arranged a hover car and sent Ling Lan out of the base.

At that moment in the new recruit training camp, the new recruits that were standing in a line were dismissed after the lead instructor had spoken.

However, the new recruits at that moment didn't know which group or clan they were going to join. They must first enter the atrium and register. Then the registrar will distribute them based on their performance in the training camp and their strength.

Of course in the atrium, there will be many different groups of mecha battle teams recruiting new members before the registration. Teams will choose members and members will choose teams. Whether the new recruits had a battle team or not, they were all welcome to join new ones. It was because these battle team were taking in temporary members. Then after years of cooperating and both sides were satisfied, they would then become an official member.

However, not every temporary member would stay in the battle team. Many temporary member were abandoned by team leaders and left because they did not reach the requirements. There were also many temporary member would leave on their own accord because after many years, their original battle team leaders of those new recruits may have successfully activate their own battle team and then they would choose to return to their original team. There were those who returned and of course those who didn't return. Those who connected with their new battle team would choose to continue to stay and become an official member.

It could be said that this was like shuffling a deck of cards. It was also a time for old friends and comrades to meet with one another. It had nothing to do with right or wrong. It was only the choices everyone made during different parts of their lives. Their choices will always be different.

All the new recruits streamed in the registration atrium. Compared to other urgency, Qi Long and the rest of their group were very relaxed and quickly fell into the back of the line.

Luo Lang held the back of his head and looked at the beautiful sun in the sky. He lazily asked, "Qi Long, do you think the Boss will be waiting for us in the registration atrium?" Thinking that their group will have to split into different battle teams and stay for two or three years, Luo Lang wasn't very interested in the life within the division for the next two to three years.

Wuwuwu, he missed Boss. If Boss was there, they would be able to ask him to find General Ling Xiao. Even if they couldn't be in the same battle team, it would still be good if they were in the same army corps. While being full of regret, Luo Lang also missed Boss very much. Also, he felt that the three months training for the new recruits was a waste of time. The difficulty was actually not comparable to the training the Boss had given them back then…

If their instructor knew what they were thinking, he would probably be crying in a corner. These monsters! They had already made them go through the most difficult training for new recruits in the history of new recruit training. If it got anymore difficult, then would it still be new recruit training? Why didn't they just go to the special forces and become a member there.

"Maybe." Hearing this, Qi Long responded with uncertainty.

On the other side, Han Jijyun showed a smile of understanding, "I'm not sure about the Boss, but I'm sure that Li Lanfeng, Li Shiyu and Zhao Jun would definitely be there."

His words made everyone look at him and waited for his explanation.

"Our Boss wouldn't let us randomly join temporary battle teams. Back then Li Lanfeng and the others had no other choice…"

Han Jijyun's words made everyone's eyes sparkle. Luo Lang also said with joy, "Jijyun, you're saying that the Boss is activating his own battle team?"

"But isn't it known that new recruits never successfully activated a battle team before?" Chang Xinyuan asked with concern.

His concern was met with everyone rolling their eyes. Was their Boss a standard new recruit? He could instantly take down the substitute battle team leader's men of the special forces. If he wanted it, then it was impossible for him to fail.

Everyone's eye rolling made Chang Xinyuan feel that he thought in a dumb way. Ever since he joined the battle team, the stuff that Boss Ling Lan had done, which one of them weren't achievements? Thus he laughed like an idiot, pulled on his hair out and began thinking on how to compensate for his poor word choices.

Right at that moment, a loud voice instantly rescued Chang Xinyuan.

"Qi Long, Qi Long. Here! Here!" Not too far from them, Han Xuya shouted towards them. Qi Long looked at Han Jijyun frustratingly. The expression on Qi Long's face was like a large dog that was being bullied. Han Jijyun sighed internally, he walked up first and helped become his friend's protective shield.

"Xuya, you need something?" Han Jijyun asked.

Han Xuya smiled, "Nothing. I need to talk to Qi Long." She pointed towards Qi Long.

Han Jijyun waved his hand towards Qi Long, telling him that he couldn't help him.

Qi Long's face dragged down to his chin. Luo Lang and the other laughed behind his back. In the past three months, Han Xuya's continuous sincere and warm acts made them all understand this little lady's thoughts.

Seeing Qi Long walk closer, Han Xuya suddenly hopped over to him. With her hands on her hips, she asked like she was queen, "Qi Long, you should know what I want in these past three months. Now, you should at least give me an answer right?"

Qi Long frustratingly grabbed his hair and didn't know how to answer her.

Seeing this, Han Xuya said, "A man like you is actually less straightforward than me. Is it possible? Isn't it just a yes or no answer?

Hearing this, Qi Long took a deep breath. Then he replied in a serious manner, "Xuya, I treat you the same as how Jijyun treats you. I have considered you as a younger sister from when we were children and never had other thoughts."

Han Xuya heard Qi Long's answer and suddenly slapped him on the shoulder then said, "That's right. If it's not possible then it's not possible. Why are you stuttering? If you want a younger sister, then I'll be your younger sister. I won't dwell on this matter anymore. When I find someone that I like, I will be able to go for it." Han Xuya's expression of relief made Luo Chao glanced at her with concern.

Han Xuya's manly response made the men around her all have frustrated expressions. Was she still a woman? She was even more manly than these men around her and she was going to go for it when she found someone she liked… No one knew why but everyone began to pity the man that Han Xuya will like in the future. They hoped that the man wouldn't be terrified by her masculine behavior.

Han Xuya's words made Qi Long instantly let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his rejection would hurt Han Xuya and in the end affect his relationship with Han Jijyun. That wasn't something he wanted.

Han Xuya's mood seemed to have not been affected and began to smile and converse with everyone. She didn't make the atmosphere awkward because of Qi Long's rejection.

Everyone talked as they walked towards the registration atrium. Unbeknownst to everyone, Han Xuya and Luo Chao had gotten to the back of the line.

Seeing that the people in front of them were not paying attention to them, Luo Chao pulled on Han Xuya lightly and asked softly, "Xuya, are you really giving up?"

Han Xuya's original warm smile, instantly dropped after Luo Chao's words. She suddenly put her head down. The tears that she had held back up until now instantly dropped down, "From when we were young, I had like Qi Long for almost 20 years. These feelings have dug into my bones. How could I just give it up that easily?" After saying that, Han Xuya raised her head and wiped her tears away. She smiled and said, "However, I can't make it difficult for him because of my feelings. If it's resolved, there wouldn't be so much pressure between our relationship." Just let her endure the pain and hurt.

In the three months new recruit training period, Qi Long's odd behavior, avoidance and subconscious rejection was all clearly seen through by her. Today, she wanted to ask him outright to actually give herself a reason to fully give up on the thought. She didn't want to lie to herself time and time again that if she tried harder, there would still be a chance.

Luo Chao looked at Han Xuya absentmindedly. She couldn't help but think about her relationship between the Boss and herself. Would her feelings also bring about frustration for Boss? Should she be following in Han Xuya's footsteps and resolve it between the two of them?

In her mind, Ling Lan's handsome face emerged. Luo Chao quickly shook her head. The sudden courage and impulsiveness had instantly evaporated. It would be considered an outstanding performance if her mind didn't go completely blank from just a look from Boss. A confession? Maybe before she could even say it, she would faint. That was more likely to happen.
